The MHC Genes
... The heavy chain of class I has hypervariable regions in its N- terminal (alpha-1 domain) which contains the antigen binding groove and constant domains. They can bind to 8 – 10 amino acid derived from endogenous antigens. The alpha chain of class II has variable (V), Joining (J) and constant (C) reg ...

Immune Response 101
... The cell-mediated immune response ends up activating microbe-specific CD8 cytotoxic T cells that go on to kill microbe-infected cells. This microbe will have had a part of its replication cycle inside of cells (intracellularly; endogenously) and so could be intracellular bacteria or viruses or other ...

... The inside of a neuron is negative, while the outside is positive, which creates a membrane potential. At a resting potential, gated sodium channels are closed, as well as most potassium channels. Na+ ions moving into the neuron cause it to become less negative, and it depolarizes. At this point, an ...
